Case Studies
Robotic Electives
Pine Ridge School’s sixth through eighth grade students had an opportunity to tap into their coding and robotics creativity. Each day the students were enthusiastically ready to get started on understanding how to code with their "pet" robots. Students prepared for Ozobots by utilizing Kahn's Hour of Coding and Scratch for the fundamentals. After this preparation, the student’s imagination took off as they applied their knowledge to the Ozobots. As an added bonus, they also facilitated stop action story telling using Stikbots.

Stikbots engaged students using the magic of green screens, iPads, and stop action to animate examples of kindness instead of bullying. Starting in the 2017-2018 school year both fun tools will be permanent Makerspace activities in the Library Media Center.
